Wanna buy a comfortable office chair for use at my PC

Hiya :)

I've been using a standard dining room chair for my PC but think it's time to get a proper office one with armrests and adjustable too.

I've looked into ebuyer as they have the £10 off £30 spend but nothing appeals there, can anyone recommend a good comfortable chair as we do spend some time working at the PC and it's more than one person so an adjustable one would be beneficial.

Cheers :beer:

Blackadder: Yes it is.
Baldrick: Hmm... that's cunning.

    I looked at lots of places. Visit a Staples store and sit in them to try them out. Mine was about £70 but has lots of adjustable things so I can set it right for me so well worth it. I just clicked a link to thank you by mistake.

    No worries - thanks always appreciated :D

    I'll see what our local staples has to offer, I went to PC World on my way home the other day and there were no chairs, nothing, nada, zilch :confused:

    Ahh heck now I'm thinking of Dunder Mifflin (anyone with me? :D)

    It was quite a few years ago, but I got my leather faced "executive" one from Viking Direct for, IIRC, about £50-ish.

    This is something i've started looking for today. Went to Staples, loads of choice there.

    I've been using a Captain's leather chair but it is seriously bad for my already knackered back. The hydraulics don't work and it is too low.

    I'm going to have a wander round the net for one which has a separate back tilt, decent high back and a massage facility. There is one in the Staples catalogue (but sadly not in the store) so I'm going to see what else is around. i'm going to be working from home full time soon and I need to invest in something half decent otherwise i'll be crawling around on all fours after a couple of weeks my back will be so bad!
    :D"Stay Wonky":D

  • you can get office chairs that are adjustable and are leather faced, the fact that there only leather faced generally brings the price down. I got one for about £30 a couple of years ago and still comfy as hell :)

    We got a leather one from Argos, was using a typist type swivel chair before which was very uncomfortable. The leather chair is fab.

  • Not sure what your budget is, but if you are after comfort and support (which is important is you spend a long time in them) I can recommend the range of chairs from High and Mighty Seating. My hubby is a bit on the lanky side so we went for a high-back chair with head rest as he has a bad back.

    HTH,
